Independent risk factors of COVID-19 pneumonia in vaccinated Mexican adults.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To evaluate host factors associated with the risk of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia in vaccinated adults.

Methods

A cohort study was conducted in Mexico, and data from 1607 adults with confirmed illness, with a positive history of COVID-19 vaccination, were analyzed. Risk ratios (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were computed as a measure of the significance of the associations between putative risk factors and the prevalence of COVID-19 pneumonia in vaccinated subjects.

Results

The overall risk of pneumonia was 1.98 per 1000 person-days. In the multiple regression analysis, older subjects, those with a history of smoking (current), obesity, and type 2 diabetes mellitus were at increased risk of pneumonia.

Conclusions

Our results
